Introduction: Academic enthusiasm is one of the factors affecting the academic success of students, which can be influenced by various factors. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the mediating role of academic motivation between self-efficacy and academic enthusiasm in high school students.
Methods: The present study was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the research included all students of the second year of high school in Kohrang city in 2022. In this study, 384 male and female students participated by multi-stage cluster random sampling method. Data collection instruments include demographic questionnaire, "Academic Motivation Scale", "Morgan-Jinks Student Efficacy Scale" and "Academic Enthusiasm Scale". The validity of the instruments was calculated by qualitative method and reliability by internal consistency method by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Data analysis was done in SPSS .24 and Amos. 24..
Results: The proposed model had good fit (CMIN/DF=2.63, CFI=0.96, RMSEA=0.06).
In addition, academic self-efficacy has a direct and significant positive correlation with academic enthusiasm (β=0.29), intrinsic motivation (β=0.48) and extrinsic motivation (β=0.37) and with demotivation (β=0.32) has a direct and significant negative correlation. The results showed that academic motivation (β=0.19) has a direct and significant negative correlation with academic enthusiasm and a positive and direct and significant (P<0.05) correlation with intrinsic motivation (β=0.17) and extrinsic motivation (β=0.17).
The results of the bootstrap test showed that all 3 subscales of intrinsic motivation (β=0.17), extrinsic motivation (β=0.11) and academic demotivation (β=0.09) play a mediating role between self-efficacy and academic enthusiasm.
Conclusions: Self-efficacy has a positive and direct correlation with students' academic enthusiasm through the mediation of academic motivation. It is suggested that in order to increase students' academic enthusiasm, attention should be paid to educational and therapeutic programs with the aim of improving students' self-efficacy and academic motivation.
